TII 1 / 4 LON DON J Otl It N Al,t4. DA I IX Extracts from the Morning Papers, Feb. 20, 1826. [MORNING mamma Now that Parliament iswssembled, we shall, we 'trust, be excused if we urge upon its atten tion a subject to which we have so often called that of our readers during the recess- T viz. the abases and the enormous power of, taxation,ex. ereised in the metropolis, especially under Alta Vestry System. We are persuaded that the Le gislature cannot be at all aware of tone-half the extent to which this method of local taxation is currie4 or it would not tacitly suffer its own powers to be usurped by self-elected, unaccount. ing, and often incompetent bodies, whose wan ton exercise of powers which they ought not to possess, is only equalled by their total disre gard of that which they ought to do. All that we at present call u pon __ Parliament to do, is twascertain the facts. When they are ascertained, then inferences might easily be drawn, and re medies applied. Though knowledge is said to be power, ignorance too is not without its des potic privileges ; and we are ' convinced that it is the ignorance which exists on this head which permits the bodies we allude to to revel its a species of tyranny and exiction quite unknown to any power in the empire but themselves. We have so often alluded to instances, and every man's experience must daily furnish him with so many proofs of what we assert, that we need not here repeat them. What we wish is, that some Member of Parliament would call for " a re turn of the amount and expenditure of all sums of money raised within the Bills of Mortality in the shape of poor, church, watch, paving, sewer, and other rates," so that it may be seen at one view what the whole of them amounts to. This is all that may be necessary in the first instance ; though it would be desirable that the details should be curried much farther, and include the number of the poor relieved in each parish, the length and width of the streets, the number of watchmen, beadles, &c., the amount of salaries, and various other particulars. While we com plain of the Parliamentary taxes, it might be useful to know what proportion they actually hear to those which are raised by these petty legislatures ; and when people grumble at the expence incurred in building suitable resi dences for the Sovereign, 'it may .of be amiss to know what is the amount which is silently squandered away in erecting debating rooms for these legislators, and in providing com fortable births and snug jobs and contracts for their connections and dependents. If these inferences are wrung, we shall gladly acknow ledge our error; but till the facts are forthcom ing, and have been submitted to public scrutiny, they cannot be contradicted ; and, if true, ought not to be suffered to continue. [MoaNuw POST.] We find that Government is accused orvacilla tion,becuuse it has so far consented to deviate from its original plan for the reformation of the Cur rency as to extend to the Bank of England per mission to issue new small notes till the 10th of October, leaving still however the same period fixed for the final cessation of this currency,with respect,to every portion of it, whether homed by the Bnnk of England, or by private bankers. If the steady pursuit of a fixed purpose is best de scribed by the term vacillation, then may that term be sapplied with infinite propriety to the conduct of Ministers. If any variation from the intended course, by which a given object was to be attained, however new circumstances or unexpected obstructions may have dictated such variation, be a proof of unsteadiness of purpose, then may Government be fairly' called upcw to plead to the charge of vacillation. The charge has been made, and Ministers hays .with greatwisdom and delicacy refrained from a reply, because. their reply must have involved more or less of inculpation against a class of persons who already think themselves hardly dealt by, and still more because a reply—a very full and suffi cient answer—emanated, unconsciously perhaps, at the same moment, upon the same authority, end from the same source with the charge itself. Now 19r the facts. Mr. Hudson Gurney had just been Informing the House of Commons of an in• stance within his own knowledge of a Country Banker having put into the fire thirteen thousand of own one-pound notes---in Indignation too. Of course. we know nothing of any other burning of notei but the indignation which led to it in the instance mentioned, is admitted on all hands, however doubtful,,to be by no means uncommon. Mr. Tierney, even when urging the charge of vacillatimiodinits that the Country Bankers feel generally offended, but that they feel so without reason. The Ministers, unconscious that the Country nisokErs had received any treatment of which they could fairly complain, formed their original . plan upon the expectation, that they hav ing paid for the stamps now in their possession, would continue to use them as long as they could —Tan expectation quite consonant certainly to the principles by which human conduct is generally supposed to be governed. All .this indignation arid this burning of notes forth a new element in the subject, or at least one of the existence of which they could not have been assure , and it is this which imposes upon them the necessity of varying their means, if they would produce the same result. If this can be called vacillation, it is just , such vacillation as is manifested by the conduct of a traveller, who aiicieg at 0-particular destination, intends to ford a river, but who finding. the river not fordable, reaches his resting place by going round over the nearest bridge. -A gradual extinction of small netes,alight be quite safe and easy.; but if that extinction were to be accelerated in cense (pollee of any indignant feeling on the part of tints issuers, it might well outrun not only the receipts of bullion, if any importation of bul- Due were required, but it might .outrun the utinn l st exertion which could be made by the , Mint, with all the mechanical powers it possesses f . cir the creation of .In meeting this threatened -danger, the Batik, orliughtpd was the proper and natural ally of Government. 'To impart to that corporation such powers as iwould make it an efficient ally for the purpose in view, was a measure not only necessary but altogether unobjectionable. Any apprehension of the Bank of England abusing this power wilt be removed, if we reflect, that having long pos sessed it, its own policy has been to refrain from exercising it st all—a policy from which it has been induced to deviate only by the pressing and immediate exigencies of the country. Govern ment hatfromptly adopted a measure to remove the only obstacle that appeared to obstruct the progress or endanger the success of their avowed design, that of extinguishing the small note cir culation in the course of three years. [THE TIM2s.) Ireland and her grievances took the field in the House of Commons on Thursday last, but with diminished force as to numbers and excitement, when compared with the mustering of both in former sessions. Yet, although the subjects agi tated were of local and unpretending rank, we are not disposed to consider them as of less in trinsic importance, than others which have made more noise in the discussion, and have furnished more food for the struggles and animosities of party.—Sir John Newport, who is always at his post, although the influence which he exercises lover the minds of those about him does not seem to increase with his years and experience, brought forward a resolution, the chief use of which was to call forth from Mr. Goulburn a prospectus of the measures which are in preparation by Government for correcting a variety of abuses. The resolution of Sir John Newport was de claratory -that large sums had been levied on account of church rates, and distributed among parish officers, contrary to statute regulations.— The Right Hon. Baronet, if his facts were true, laid strong ground for his motion, stating that en ormous charges had been made upon parishioners in several parts of Ireland, and the fruits of them converted to the benefit of parish-clerks, sextons, &c., in the shape of salaries not allowed by law, disproportioned to the services performed by those underlings, and wrung indiscriminately from a mixed population, of which much the larger class were of a religion which acknowledged no utility whatever in the objects to be effected by such a diversion of the public money. It is obvious, that if the clergy of tint Protestant Church are to be supported as an established clergy, they must derive a large share of their revenue from those who gain nothing by their spiritual labours. With regard to Catholics and other Dissenters, therefore,—of which latter class, by the way, the Presbyterians exceed in number the Protestants of the Church of England,—all we can recommend is, that every practicable in stigation should be given to the working of a principle in itself the reverse of conciliatory.— The offence of tithes and church rates for pur- poses exclusively beneficial to the establishment, ought to be studiously softened, not sharpened, by the most cautious provisions against abuse, by the mildest course of exaction, and the strictest integrity in their application. If these ends shall be effectually promoted by the new law for the regulation of church rates, of which Mr. Goulburn has given notice, essential benefit will be administered to the mass of , society throughout Ireland, and a wholesome supplement will be added to the new law for the composition of tithes, which, so far as it has yet proceeded. seems to have spread the spirit of harmony and good-fellowship where discord had hitherto pre vailed. EtiEW TIMES.] The lamentable catastrophe of an eminen House connected with South American Luaus will, it is to be feared, create an alarm as to those securities in general. It will be well, therefore, to reflect a little on the circumstances respecting them ; for if we were at one time too confiding, that is no reason why we should be at another time too suspicious. The era of speculation in. these concerns began in 1822, when a loan, of a million was raised by a respectable house don for the Chilean Governr►►e►st ; two millions by another eminent house for Colombia; and a smaller sum by a third house for Peru. In 1823 things went on very favourably, and the instal meats were regularly paid. In 1824 the system of loaning was .warmly followed up by most of the South American States.; Colombia raised 4,750,0001. and Mexico 3,200,000/. Brazil, Buenos Ayres, &c. took their share, and thus the whole of the debts contracted fur by the South American States amounted (it is calculated) to twenty-one millions sterling. We must say, we think there was at the periods of which we have been speaking, a sort of mania for lending ; but let us take care thn►t the mania does not now take an opposite turn. It is much to be feared, that too many of these Bonds are held by females, retired tradesmen, and other persons of small pro. perty, who, at the time the interest of our own Funds was reduced, gladly purchased into these Stocks, as the only means of keeping up their usual income. Such persons will be but too easily alarmed, if any diflicully should occur, whether from the failure of a Contractor, or otherwise. They should, however, consider, that there is a class of speculators, no less active to depress, than others to raise, these Stocks ; they should reflect that the South American Stocks are as yet inexperienced in finance, and therefore momentary hesitations and impediments may be expected of them; but we have no reason to believe that their Governments have the least disposition towards a breach of public fni►; still less is it to be suppose d that countries possAsing so many natural advan tages, anti blest with independence and free in stitutio►ts, will not soon attain the means of dis charging all their obligations. We certainly should not advise parties to embark in any new projects for lendi►g money to those States ; but ►he present holders of their securities ought not, we think, to give way to unmanly fears at the first cloud which passes over prospects they once deemed so brilliant. [MORN INO cH ONIC LE.] Lord Liverpool, on riday night, observed, that " there ware different theories as to the cause of distress—for, while'some persons attri buted all the• evils to speCulatiOn, others attri- buted them all to the currency. That they did not flow exclusively from the currency, he had already stated and 'hewn; but he did not think that all these speculations and gambling transac tions could have been carried to the degree they had, if they had not been encouraged by the pa per currency. Both causes had operated. The speculations in the trade bad been the origin of the evil ; the spirit of gambling carried into every branch of trade had been the beginning, but it could not have been so extensive, if they had not been aided by the currency." His Lordship maintained that the exchanges were an infallible guide with regard to the Currency, and he ad verted to the doctrine lately advanced by Mr. Tooke, that the cause of the unfavourable Ex-. changes had been long in operation before the effect is indicated by them. He then shelved that the Bank had long neglected to attend to the unfavourable turn of the Exchanges, thereby accusing the Bank of having added greatly to the evil. So far so good. But his Lordship having thus contended for the exchanges as a criterion of the sound or unsound state of the currency, soon abandoned his own• doctrine, and in formed the House 44 there was no fact clearer than this—the cause he would not now stop to inquire into. But the fact was, that gold and paper would not go together. If Parliament should say there should be no circulation of paper, there. would be none ; and if, on the other hand, they said there should be sovereigns, their direction would be as effectually obeyed as in deed it would be if they were to direct a circu lation of crown pieces, or any other kind of money whatever. But the circulation of paper could never be intermingled with a metallic cir. culation ; by whatever reasoning the fact was proved, it % as clearly so, and that fact must be the bushier their determinations." If the exchanges are in our favour, his Lordship will hardly contend that the gold we already have will leave us—but his Lordship contends that the Bank ought to have had their eye on the Exchanges, and regulated their issues in such a way that they should not have been against us. Then, if the exchanges were in favour, and the gold were kept in the country, through a proper regulation of the Bank issues, why should not the gold and paper cir culate together ? If the Bank, by the regulation of their issues, can make it unprofitable to ex port, gold, then the Bank can keep paper in circulation along with gold. The two positions of his Lordship cannot, therefore, be both true. If his Lordship meant to say that the circulating medium, being a given sum, every addition to the paper must displace a certain amount of gold ; for, if no diminbtion of gold took place, the cir- culating medium would be augmented, and a depreciation of the currency would follow : this is quite a different proposition from the one that gold and paper cannot circulate together. The Exchanges would fall were there an aug mentation of the mass of paper and gold taken ' together, beyond what was required for the wants of the country ; but his Lordship contends that the Exchanges may be kept in our favour with a paper circulation, consequently, that the mass of paper and 'gold, taken together, is not augmented, and yet, that they cannot circulate together. If they cannot circulate together, he ought not to have blamed the Bank for.not keeping the Exchanges in our favour, so pi to prevent the exportation of gold. [TUE 11EPRESENTATIVE.1 Considerable misconception seems to prevail, even among those who ought to he well-informed upon the subject, as to the extent and influence of the connection which is alleged. to exist between Government and the Bank of England. Even in the debate on Friday night, it was asserted by a Noble Marquis, in his place in Parliament, that the operations of the Bank were hampered by its transactions with Government ; and that it was in conseqeence less able than it might have been, to lend its assistance in relieving the difficulties which now press upon the mercantile classes. however dis posed we may feel to respect the authority ,p 0 which Ruch a statement is advanced, we must be permitted to say, that we cannot perceive the solidity of the foundation on which it is sup posed to rest. For the purpose of bringing the sub ject within the comprehension of the general reader we must request him to view the dealings of the Government with the Bank of England, in the same light as his own transactions with his private banker. Let us then suppose that the Bunk advances Government a loan of ten millions on Exchequer Bills. It will then be asked, does not such a measure hamper the ope rations of the Bank ? and has not that establish. ment ten millions less to employ in discounting the bills of private merchants ? It does not% we apprehend, to the extent which is sometimes ima gined. If the Bank retain the Exchequer Bills upon which it has advanced money, it only proves that it possesses a surplus capital which it cannot advance upon private bills so as to return a higher rate of interest. But the truth is, that the Bank seldom keeps - Exchequer Bills to any con siderable amount. When the money has been advanced upon them, they are usually brought into the market to be sold to the public for the best terms which they will corn mand, and the mone y originally advanced by the Bank is th us re pl a ced in its coffers. If a good bargain has been made with Government Exchequer Bills fetch a premium which gives a profit to the Bank: even under the most adverse circumstances the worst that can happen is, that they should sell at a discount, and thus cause a loss to that es t a bli s h me nt. In both cases the capital origin a lly advanced by the Band returns to its coffers : in one case with a profit, in the other with a l oss. Th e re appears therefore no ground for suppos i ng th a t the bank cripples it s resources by a d vanc i ng money on Exchequ er Bills. Ev ery wan at a ll acq uainted with money transactions, knows that on whatever terms th e original issue of such bills may have been made, still the Bank can extricate its capital at a very short notice, even in the most unfavourabl e state of the market, by sacrificing the. discount to which such securities may lov? Wien. While Exchequer bills are at par,' it is quite impossible that an advance of money upon them can em barrass the operations of the Bank. They are securities at all times convertible into cash ; and if at any time the Bank caa make a more profitable investment of its.capital, it will he withdrawn for that purpose. It is also maintained that Government commits an injury upon public credit by issuing Exchequer Bills so low as to cause them to be sold at a discount. We do not exactly see the ground on which this can prove injurious to the public. It is an advantage to Government to borrow money at low interest, and this ap pears rather to augment than diminish the facility afford private individuals of getting their bills discounted at the bank. If Government were to outbid the private merchant—were to tempt the bank with a higher rate of interest, then, indeed, some ground of complaint might exist. But really we cannot see why the public should exclaim, because a system is adopted which prevents Government from clashing with private individuals in applying for discounts. Government is no doubt the Bank's best customer, buL nothing more, and as such it may be able to procure an advance of money on its bills on more favourable terms than a less responsible applicant. Bat this is a mere pri vate transaction between Government and the Bank, by which the public cannot be a loser. If there should be an advance made under the usual rate of interest, Exchequer Bills will fall to a discount, and a loss will be incurred by the Proprietors of Bank Stock : but as long as the Bank is liable to be called upon to pay its notes in specie, we cannot understand how its connec tion with Government can affect the currency of the country, or prove in any other way detri mental to the interests of the public. N . PUBLIC LEDGER.) Last night we received the Austrian Observer, to the 7th, and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 12th. In neither are there any new accounts from either Russia or Turkey ; and in the Austrian Observer there is not a single article of political news worth extracting. It appears from the Allgemeine Zeitung, that an important change is meditated in the Prussian Church, which has hitherto conformed to the Presbyterian forms. A plan for substituting the Episcopalian System is said 'to be on the to pis ; and the reason of the in tended innovation is, the anarchy which, it is said, universally prevails—every Clergyman act ing according to his own discretion. The real cause, however, is a desire to establish greater harmony between Church and State ; the Episco palian System being more in unison with Mo narchical Institutions than the Presbyterian.— Yet no inconvenience had arisen in former reigns from the religion as by law established ; but the predecessors of the present Monarch, at least for the last hundred years, troubled themselves very little about the religious feel ings of their subjects ; and this indifference, it must be allowed, has produced its proper fruits ; and if there be less fanaticism in the Protestant part of Prussia, there is also mere scepticism than perhaps in any other country in Europe. It would seem, from one passage in the article, that in the dissuasions on this important subject, a proposal had been made to adopt the rites of the [tomis►h Church ; but the idea, if ever serious ly entertained, has been abandoned ; and the arguments upon which the rejection is founded are rather strong, viz. that the Catholic Clergy, whatever precautions may be taken to secure their undivided allegiance to the Head of the State, still recognise an external sovereignty.— Whatever truth there may be in this remark, and we cannot deny there is some, yet we have strong doubts as to the propriety of introducing religious innovations, particularly at a time like the present. COUNTRY MARKETS DURING THE LAST WEEK. Wheat !Barley Oats. rBRITISIi PRE19..1 The debate on Friday evening, in the House of Lords, on the state of the Currency, was car ried on with considerable interest ; but, except in what fell from Lord Liverpool, nothing passed during the discussion which threw much light on this interesting subject. In truth, it is a subject which does not admit of much assistance from the illustration of abstract principles. The mass of individual interests which make up the concerns of a great com mercial nation are not of a nature to bend to the rules of theory, or to be governed by the closetted meditations of the political Economist. We have all along admitted that, taken in the abstract, their principles may be correct enough, hut, like many other notions that anay be philo sophically true, the practical application of them may produce effects exactly the reverse of what beforehand was expected from them. The present Crisis is not the one fitted for experiments, more especially for any experiments on a grand scale, which of necessity compel those who would try them to depart from experience. It may be that the beaten track is not the best track ; but still where,as in the present case, any wide and sudden deviation from it may put everything to the hazard, we hold that measure to be the most prudent which puts least to the risk. It has been said—and we believe it—that the commercial distress in which the country is at present involved is, to a ascertain degree, temporary ; but this we likewise believe, that if any improvident measure by way of remedy is introduced in the interval, - it may have the etkct of rendering that distress permanent, by intercepting all those resources by means of w1,7...11 it might ultimately have been surmounted. That the paper currency of the country has been of late years increased far beyond the amount re quired by tbe legitimate demands of trade, is a fact which all must admit. That this exorbi tant increase of paper had exactly the same effect in raising prices as an influx of gold and silver to the same anwunt would have had, is like wise a fact which cannot be doubted ; nod is has moreover this particular evil, that it makes this rise of prices local, and the effect is' therefore more exclusively and deeply felt. The follow*, coincidence of births has taken place in the' fancily of Mr._ John Edwards, of St. Alary's, Rochester. He has three children, each born on a Christmas.day, viz. :—Ryan Edwards Christmas-day. 1822 ; Cha r l es Edwards, Christmas day, 1823; and Sarah Edwards, Christmas-day, 18`24; two were born at the same hour of the day, and the other within one hour of the same time.
